You only need check out the action on the political scene to get a sense of the tone and tenor of our current eclipse period. It started with the LUNAR
ECLIPSE on August 7, continuing on this Monday, August 21 with the SOLAR ECLIPSE. This upcoming historic eclipse will significantly amp up an already
contentious situation within the upper echelons of the American presidency. As I have previously explained, because the SUN presides over the "ruler"
of any given place, it is an especially difficult period for Trump and his top people because the eclipse occurs directly over the continental
United States. Tensions, problems and discord will heighten. Remember, astrologically speaking, the significance of the eclipse is as much about
conditions that continue to unfold for up to 6 months thereafter as it is about the eclipse day itself.

Shortly, I will post some practical considerations regarding how to approach eclipse day.

The coming SOLAR ECLIPSE of August 21st has great significance to the American government as well as its leaders.

As you may know, SUN represents the king or ruler, so a solar eclipse results in a condition where the ruling elite are impacted. An eclipse affects
both the health of the ruler and his/her adjuncts as well as the health, vitality and viability of their projects and programs. This effect is
strongest at the time of the eclipse, but continues for at least 3 months thereafter, maybe as long as 6 months. As you might imagine, this suggests
a problematic period for TRUMP going forward.

A solar eclipse is created when the moon travels in front of the sun resulting in a period where it is fully blocking the sun's light. The upcoming
eclipse is the FIRST SOLAR ECLIPSE in roughly 40 YEARS, occurring directly over NORTH AMERICA from beginning to end, resulting in a 70 mile wide
ribbon from coast to coast where a total eclipse will be visible. A partial eclipse may be seen from anywhere in North America.

The eclipse, essentially created by the MOON blocking the SUN thus creates a shadow on the EARTH. It will proceed on its path coast to coast over a
period of about an hour and a half resulting in an eclipse that one can view overhead of approximately 2 and half minutes. The visual effect will
vary depending on surrounding topography.

The August 21st eclipse will start in Oregon (10:20 am PST), and culminate in South Carolina at (2:40 pm EDT).
